Emmanuel Baptist Church is an independent, Fundamental Baptist church serving South Haven, Valparaiso, Portage, and the surrounding Northwest Indiana community. We believe the King James Bible is the Word of God and our sole authority for faith and practice. The following distinctives summarize what we believe and teach.

We Are An Independent Church – we do not belong to a convention or association of churches.

We Are A Baptist Church – We believe in the historic Baptist distinctives such as:
Verbal inspiration of the Bible
Priesthood of the believer
Separation of church & state
Believer’s baptism by immersion
Autonomy of the local church
Regenerate church membership

We Are A Biblicist Church – What we believe and teach is taken from the Word of God, the Bible

We Are A Separated Church – We are separated ecclesiastically from apostate groups such as the World Council and National Council of Churches. We further reject New Evangelicalism. We are separated personally, seeking to follow the great principles of the Bible for a dedicated Christian life

We Are An Evangelistic Church – We believe Acts 1:8 is given to every member in our church. We are responsible to seek to bring lost souls to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We Are A Missionary Church – We believe in and support in sending out men to establish churches around the world.
